Bigger IS better!

After the disappointment of having eldest DD's music tour to China & NZ cancelled, DH & I decided we'd cheer EVERYONE up by lashing out and getting a new BIG TV. We're now all in love with our 42" LCD tele! Bigger is most definately BETTER!!!

We're enjoying a long weekend here in Qld and I had an extra long weekend by having Friday off as well. Went along to SB Princess for a 12 hour crop with the fabulous Shan, Kerryn and guests from afar...Lisa Pate and Helen Jolly. Had a great day - lots of laughs, snacks ... oh and some scrapping.

The girls helped me out with a "project" for work. The Qld Police Service have a bi-annual art auction fund raiser (see details here) and I've offerred a piece of work up for auction. I'm almost finished framed two 12 piece "inchies" matted on 12 x 12 bazzill to add to the auction. Will be sure to post a link to them once they are up and ready to bid on ;)

Also managed to get a few LO's and a couple of cards completed too! The first two are monthly challenges at the Stamp Shak.

I've also completed a monthly sketch challenge at LSBS...a rare ok shot of DH!

All Craftz had a huge day on Saturday and I managed to get two of their challenges completed in time (think my card has won a prize for me too!!)

Finally had a card to make for the boss at work who's off on extended leave (and yes, it's Scenic Route!!)...

Yesterday eldest DD & I went into the convention centre for the SB & Papercraft Expo! Had a lovely 4 hours or so checking out the stalls/displays (and buying a few goodies) + meeting up with the lovely Chelle, Gyps, Carol, Helen, Lisa, Shan and Kerryn. Also got to meet Louise (Fess) and chat briefly to Kayla and Alice. Had a 2 second chat to Sara Pearcy while she was teaching a class but missed her during her break - sorry Sara!

Catching up with everyone is almost better than the shopping!!! Danah was excellent and she almost admitted to enjoying it! Think she liked sitting in on the "grown up" conversations more than anything! She didn't complain once - which was lovely - the ice cream might have helped there!!

Shame we can't have a four day weekend EVERY weekend!!!
